Breathing New Life Into Wyandotte County's Huron Park
Project EverGreen’s GreenCare for Communities Initiative and Kansas City-based PBI-Gordon came together to revitalize Wyandotte County's Huron Park.
The volunteer project was part of PBI-Gordon’s 75th anniversary celebration and placed the spotlight on the substantial benefits green spaces provide to the environment and residents. PBI-Gordon is the manufacturer of turf and ornamental management products.
“PBI-Gordon is proud to support Project EverGreen and the work it does to enhance green spaces and urban centers nationwide,” said Neil Cleveland, senior vice president and general manager of PBI-Gordon. “It’s an honor to partner with this organization and the other donors to revitalize Huron Park and help preserve this beloved gathering place.”
Huron Park is a 7-acre park, adjacent to the well-known Huron Indian Cemetery historical landmark, that provides visitors with access to shady, cool areas to walk, picnic, play with kids and relax.
The park is in proximity to the KCK Public Library, Wyandotte County City Hall and the KCK Fire Department Headquarters.
PBI-Gordon employees worked side-by-side with the Unified Government’s Parks & Recreation Department employees and professional contractors to renovate Huron Park and provide the lift it needs.

“A well-maintained vibrant park brings cooling relief to this urban downtown,” said Cindy Code, executive director of Project EverGreen. “Bringing the community’s vision to life is possible only through collaboration of individuals, businesses, and community grants. Our professional volunteers love sharing their expertise and giving back to neighborhood parks and green spaces.”
